On/off button stuck, messaging screen stuck in landscape mode

I have had my iPhone 4 for 1 year and 1 month. It has been great up to two days ago when the on/off button mysteriously quit working. Then, today the messaging screen just froze in landscape mode. I have been googling my problem and the average response is to reset your phone. Which makes sense, except I can't use my little on/off button. So, what can I do? Super annoying to text in landscape mode...Help me!!

Can I turn off my phone using the accessibility feature and then plug it in to a power source to turn it back on? It may reset my messaging screen...I can live without the lock button but I'm not a fan of texting in landscape mode. I just want to for sure know the power source will turn it back on.

Is there a way to hide the bookmarks bar in iOS 8 on the iPad? It takes up a large part of the screen when in landscape mode

Since I upgraded to iOS8, my iPad screen permanently shows the bookmarks bar down the left. This means I can only use about ⅔ of the screen when in landscape mode. Is there something I am missing which allows me to hide/show the bookmarks bar? Thanks

TThank you so much! I felt it must be something straightforward.

My screen stays in landscape mode watching Netflix and won't switch to portrait like all other video sites (Amazon Prime) does. Any way to fix?

My screen stays in Landscape mode watching Netflix and won't switch to Portrait like other video sites like Amazon Prime does. It is not locked so I don't know why this happening. Any help is appreciated.

I can't swear to this because I do not have the Netflix app, but I believe that the most recent upgrade to the app requires you to watch the movies in landscape mode now and it cannot be changed.

On/off button stuck inside

My 8GB Nano (6th Gen) ... the on/off button seems to be stuck. I cannot get it to turn off or operate unless I plug into computer (as if I were charging). I can then get the screen to light up and proceed. I do not think it is ever turning off but just had the problem today after long run. Any suggestions?
Thank you so much in advance.

Try resetting your iPhone. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, contact Apple Support. Here's how:

My ipad has frozen leaving candy crush, I tried to put it off using the on/off button, but now I have a black screen with no function. I can't read the serial number on the back as it is tiny.! any ideas?

My Ipad mini has frozen leaving Candy crush. I tried to put it off using the on/off button, now the screen is black with no function. I can hear Siri if I push the control. It is charged. Any ideas? I can't read the very small printed serial number on the back so can't use the Apple help as they require the serial number.

Hold down the sleep/wake button and the home button for ~10 seconds, or until the apple logo appears. This is called a reset.

Stuck on landscape mode when playing music - intermittent

Kind of a weird problem here.
Occurs intermittently, but still very very common
When listening to music for about 10 mins or more, and ipod touch 2g is placed in pocket or while lying down, the screen switches to landscape mode and displays the album art. This is normal.
However, about 75% of the time, if I were to turn on and unlock the ipod, the screen is stuck on the landscape mode, and does not rotate back.
This is anoying because i don't have the pause, rewind, ffword buttons, or the music slider. no matter what i do, shake it, reposition it, turn off and on , it will not rotate from the landscape album art.
the only way to fix it is to press HOME, and go back into MUSIC.
while this isn't the end of the world, it certainly doesn't appear to be normal behaviour. I have no problems with any rotation for any other apps. Just music, and only if its been playing for a little while (not long, ~10mins)
Any suggestions? I called apple, and they said to restore it to factory default.
obviously that is a valid suggestion, just wanted to get any input before losing all my data
thanks
Mike

I haven't seen it get stuck, but -- when I'm in landscape mode (I have a speaker that holds the iTouch in the landscape position), is there a way to get to playlists? The only thing that I see is the album covers. Even if I press the home button, and then press music -- it switches to the album covers and I can't select anything except the albums. Please help.

How to add a Button on SUS top-right corner ( Near Log off button)

Hi Experts,
It's a bit urgent for me. Please give your valuable suggestions to achieve below scenario.
My requirement is :-
adding a button on top-right corner(near log-off button) of SUS screen.
when that button is clicked, a pop-up should appear, which shows a list of supplier IDs.
SUS user selects a supplier ID from this list.
Subsequently, PO, Invoices and other documents should be filtered out based on supplier ID selected.
Request you to help me how to achieve it technically. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Ratnesh

Hi,
is that button really necessary or is it enough to achieve the functionality you are describing?
If the latter, this is standard SUS.
When you give that user the SUS admin purchaser role that user gets a 'find supplier' link in the menu at the left hand side.
In here you can search for the correct supplier (or just press search without parameters and you get a list. When you click on one of the results the user will act as if it is an employee of that supplier. Including only displaying documents of that supplier.
Regards,
Robin

How do i turn off talkback when the screen is locked?

How Do I Turn Off Talkback When The Screen Is In Locked Mode? It Will Not Allow Me To Get To The Accessibility Icon.....

Hi
I’d be happy to help you disable talkback on your Moto E! If you have inadvertently enabled Talkback, you can quickly pause it, and then go back to disable this feature.
Anywhere on the screen, swipe down then right in a single motion, as if you were drawing an “L”.
Note: This should work whether the phone is on the lock screen or unlocked.
You will then see 2 options in the top corners of the screen, select “Pause Feedback”.
When the Suspend Talkback message appears, double tap “OK”.
You can now normally go into Settings > Accessibility and disable talkback.
I hope this helps!

How to strictly lock screen in landscape mode by Agentry editor?

Hi
I am using SSM 3.0, Agentry client v6.0.38.1.
How can I lock Android device screen in strictly landscape mode for our customized Agentry app through Agentry editor?
If I lock device screen in landscape mode then it will affect other applications too.
So is there any way to just lock the screen for particular Agentry application?
Regards
Prit

Prit,
There is no setting in the Agentry to force the application to only landscape or only portrait.
However, you can through the Android branding process force the orientation.
After you unzip the SMPAgentryClientFramework-Android-6.0.38.x.zip, in the AgentryAndroidClientSolution folder there is a file AndroidManifest.xml
You will need to edit this file to add the following directive to the activity tags (12) in the file where the android:name starts with ".ui."
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
Here is one example from my file.
<activity android:name=".ui.screensets.OverlayScreenSetActivity"
               android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
               android:theme="@style/AgentryActivityDialog"
               android:screenOrientation="landscape"/>
After editing and saving the file simply build the branded client and when you launch the new client on the device it should automatically go into landscape mode no matter what orientation the device is in.
